We study interpolation by positive functions from a behavioural point of view. In particular, by considering the notion of mirror image data, the interpolation problem with passivity constraint is transformed into an ...

The conscious sheep is an important large animal model for the study of human cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary system. In this study we develop a closed-loop mathematical model of its cardiovascular system. A distributed ...

In complex robotic operating environments in which robots must cooperate in a flexible and event-driven manner, a cooperative distributed environment for intelligent control is required. We develop a realistic technique ...

Recent research has highlighted the vital role played by dendrites in effecting the computational properties of single neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). An ultraviolet (UV) acousto-optic laser scanning microscope ...

This thesis addresses the issue of applying a "globally" convergent optimization scheme to the training of multi-layer perceptrons, a class of Artificial Neural Networks, for the detection and classification of signals in ...

Despite their success in other areas of statistical signal processing, current wavelet-based image models are inadequate for modeling patterns in images, due to the presence of unknown transformations inherent in most ...

The short-time Fourier transform and the Wigner distribution are the time-frequency representations that have received the most attention. The Wigner distribution has a number of desirable properties, but it introduces ...

Cooperation among radios in wireless networks has been shown to improve communication in several aspects. We analyze a wireless network which employs multiple parallel relay transceivers to assist in communication between ...

MiCoN (Minimum-Cost Neighbor) is a new on-demand multicast routing protocol for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Multicast routing in MiCoN is based on a new multi-route unicast routing protocol for maintaining routes ...
